I love this story! Please write some more! I can't wait to see what happens, and if Discord will be discovered.

Thank you very much for the comments. More coming soon!

Love this! But, why was Twilight saying gibberish near the end? And is it me, or do most of the things Fluttershy helps out with seem to be staged? I think a certain chaos spirit is causing trouble for the sake of helping his friend, not caring about the consequences.

Twilight had run out of magic. After her spell collapsed, she couldn't speak clearly until she cleared her head.

Sorry it was unclear.

Aha! I knew it! Discord is behind this! Except for the tentacles, that was probably somepony else's doing. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Discord seems to be behind those crisis. It makes sense, however: after all, how would Fluttershy help resolving a crisis if there isn't a crisis to resolve? :trollestia:

While it isn't story breaking there's one thing that bothered me: Twilight seems to be too fine to have just exhausted magically (previous chapter, which happpened immediately before)

Fair point. I surmised that it was easier levitating things from the outside then from the inside. I made an edit to try and make that clearer in the story.

I am trying an experiment. I updated the title and description of the story. I'll be interested to see how that impacts how much traction the story gets.

Goodness! Why are the elements heading to Fluttershy? this is quite a predicament.

Is Discord losing his magic? We need more Discord, if you don't mind. I can just imagine Twilight grilling him out for messing with her friends.

Wow, you push these stories faster than me. My guess, written ahead of time/heavily inspired.

I had almost completed drafts of the whole story done before I posted the first chapter. I am posting them now as I finish the final editing passes.

“What is it about villains blowing up libraries,” she thought. “First Golden Oaks, and now this!”

“The mean black thingies took the Elements!” Pinkie exclaimed. She pointed at the whole in the back wall. Twilight recognized the opening to the vault where the Elements had been stored.

If this is after the Tirek incident, then the Elements were back to the Tree of Harmony and the Mane 6 have that Rainbow Power which don't need some specific artifact to work.

.... yeah, that breaks a lot of your story this chapter.

I think having the Elements of Harmony as physical objects creates a lot of story possibilities, so I gave them back to the girls. This quote at the beginning of Chapter 2 sets that fact up for this story:

“Ever since we cleared the taint from the Everfree Forest and reclaimed the Elements, Celestia has stored them in the vault at Canterlot Castle.” Applejack adjusted her Stetson hat. The orange earth pony reclined comfortably. “Makes sense we should go there first, if trouble is afoot.”

This is a bit of background from an as yet unfinished prequel story. That makes this story a bit AU. Do you think I should add that tag?

Every time I see an adventure fic with the 'mane six' and 'spike' tags attached, I get my hopes up, thinking it might be a journey all seven of them contribute to equally. After a ctrl+F search on the first and the last three chapters of this one, it looks like he's barely in it. It's just another tale about a six-piece toy set.

Awesome story! Wish there had been more Discord in it but you still get 5/5 pinkie pies.

Applejack had seen fear in those eyes many times before. But she had never seen Shy afraid of herself.

for some reason I wanted to cry when I read that line. Also HOOVES not hands!!!! I've seen that error too many times already!! :fluttershbad:

The air around Fluttershy turned milky white. “I don’t know if I can do this.” She beat her wings faster. The air turned yellow. The Elements were still receding. “I don’t know if I should do this.” The air turned pink. “Sorry Rainbow Dash,” she thought. “Nopony but you should do this. But I can’t lose the Elements. The girls are counting on me.” Fluttershy beat her wings even faster. The air exploded around her, creating shockwaves of yellow and pink in her wake.

This was strangely very very satisfying encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQrshCa1-_1HUvtm4f8gtDCi-ZgRzgTGqQD1b3jn2WWXcTQyK9sZg

7291563 Thank you for the comments. Under normal circumstances, Fluttershy sticks fairly rigidly to her internal image of her role and responsibilities in the world, especially vis-à-vis her friends. She is not just happy sticking to her own role, Fluttershy is comforted by the roles that her friends occupy as well. In this story, those roles and responsibilities get all mixed up, which makes Fluttershy profoundly uncomfortable. Part of her heroism is rising to take up new roles as the situation requires it, even if those roles scare her.

Good reminder about hooves not hands. I will add that to my standard review sweep. :facehoof:
